Bugging out with Social Skills!

I'm so excited to present this product to all of you! I've been working long and hard on a wonderful social skills resource that I hope you'll all love!


This 32 page packet includes over 200 cards and 5 worksheets! Each bug has its own skill to target.

A Fly's Tone of Voice
Includes 20 tone of voice cards and 36 different sentences to use with them, as well as a worksheet to that you can use to decide what tone of voice to use in a certain situation. 


Each section starts out with a similar cover page. The skill is defined and briefly discussed. Then I tell you how to use the included cards and worksheets.


Here is an example of the sentences used in this section. You can have your students draw one TOV card and one sentence card. They must read the sentence in that TOV. You can also read a sentence to your students in a certain TOV and have your students determine which TOV it is. The worksheet includes 10 different sentences where your student must determine which TOV is appropriate to use in that situation. 

Mr. Caterpillar's Emotions
Includes 20 emotion cards and 20 definition cards. You can use these cards to help teach the definition of each emotion. After your students are comfortable with each definition, use the cards to play Go Fish or Memory.


Use this worksheet to target emotions in many different ways! There is a space for your students to draw out the emotion, give the definition, give examples, and give synonyms and antonyms. 

Perspective Taking with a Ladybug
Includes 24 cards with scenarios.


Read each scenario and determine how a person from that scenario fells. I've included a worksheet where your students can come up with a situation in their lives that involved another person. They must determine how the other person felt during that situation. 

Problem Solving with Ms. Butterfly
Includes 24 different scenarios.


Read each scenario and determine what would be the best solution to your problem. The included worksheet allows your students to brainstorm a problem and possible solutions to that problem. 

Making Conversation with a Dragonfly
Includes 36 topic cards and 3 pages of hint cards.


Your students draw one of the topic cards. They must use the topic word or words on the card and form their own questions. If this is too hard for your student, I've included "hint pages", where I've provided example questions for each topic. 

The Spider Can Stay on Topic
Includes 24 conversation cards.


Each card presents a scenario and your student must determine an appropriate comment to make that stays on topic. There is an included worksheet that allows your students to make up their own conversation topic and determine appropriate comments.

Also included are 6 special cards and a game board.
